A smile, a dance, a little flirtatious banter, and witty heiress Luciana Piccolo was swept off her feet. Literally. When a mysterious, gorgeous woman at her tyrant father's masquerade ball whisks her onto the dance floor, Lucy's thrilled to break the shackles of her privileged but purposeless life. However, when the same woman kidnaps her and whisks her to the hideout of the rebellious organization fighting to topple the regime she's set to inherit, Lucy is not thrilled to be actually shackled as a prisoner. She is forced to accompany her abductor--a laconic, rigid assassin named Taylor--across the war-torn regions of the former United States as Taylor carries out perilous assassinations and leads the growing rebel army. Relying on each other to stay alive, the antagonistic spark between Lucy and Taylor smolders into an ardent flame. Secrets unravel and the stakes get fatally higher, and the battle between new love and old loyalty may prove more dangerous than the war they're trying to survive.
